When one of my kids feels grumpy or sad and can\u2019t seem to shake it even after hugs and talking through what happened, I bust out one simple but powerful parenting move that helps them get back to happy: music.<\/p>\n
Research shows that music can quickly boost your mood, even more so if you want<\/em> to improve your mood. Plus, listening to music with your child creates healthy bonds and builds positive memories.<\/p>\n\n When you search for \u201cfunny songs for kids\u201d or \u201csilly songs for kids,\u201d you\u2019ll find either saccharine-sweet kids\u2019 music or the same ol\u2019 boring nursery songs\u2014or a mix of both. And while I don\u2019t mind hearing \u201cOn Top of Spaghetti\u201d or \u201cRipped Pants\u201d by Spongebob once<\/em> in a while, those aren\u2019t exactly songs I want in my ears every single day, and certainly not multiple times a day.<\/p>\n The truth<\/strong> is if you want a go-to playlist of funny songs for kids, you don\u2019t need to resort to the kind of children\u2019s music that sets your teeth on edge.<\/p>\n In fact, if you pick music you<\/em> actually enjoy too, you\u2019ll get a mood boost as well. And goodness knows in between the daily parenting slog of tantrums<\/a> and sibling scuffles and power struggles, we could all use a pick-me-up of our own.<\/p>\n As a mom of four, over the years I\u2019ve curated a handful of go-to playlists to meet the needs of different situations, from love songs for kids<\/a> to kids\u2019 dance music<\/a>. But my favorite playlist for cheering up one of my kids is a collection of the best funny songs for kids.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s why: If you can get your child to giggle, that stimulates endorphins, which are feel-good chemicals that reduce stress and put you in a better mood. In other words, funny music can help your child feel better lickety-split.<\/p>\n Below, you\u2019ll find a list of the absolute best<\/strong> songs that will get your child laughing and smiling in no time. Not only that, when you listen to these funny kids\u2019 songs together, you\u2019ll strengthen your bond with your child.\u00a0And a stronger connection pays off in the form of greater cooperation, fewer power struggles, and the kind of loving parent-child relationship that will last into the teenage years and beyond.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n To be clear, I\u2019ve double- and triple-checked the lyrics to make sure they are 100 percent kid-friendly. Feel free to use this list to create your own playlist now so that the next time your child needs a mood boost (or you do!), you\u2019re ready to go with some great funny songs for kids.<\/p>\nBut Here\u2019s the Problem<\/h2>\n
